Has anyone looked at how RHCs are doing after the states implemented their Medicaid prospective payment system encounter rates to pay RHCs?
The Government Accounting Office (GAO) submitted a report to Congress in June of 2005 about their findings of Health Centers and Rural Clinics with State and Federal implementation issues for Medicaid’s prospective payment system that is very informative as to how the PPS had been implemented by a number of states. The report is GAO-05-452 http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d05452.
